Mayor’s Garden Contest
Deadline is July 10
Boston’s growers have until 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, July
10, to submit their
gardens for award contention. The contest recognizes gardeners who have landscaped,
planted flowers, trees, shrubs, and, in the process, helped beautify Boston’s
neighborhoods.
Gardeners or those nominating their favorite gardeners may
submit photos through the online application (our preferred method of
entry) boston.gov/garden-contest. Alternatively,
contestants may request an application by emailing their name and address
to gardencontest@boston.gov. Paper applications are
also available in English and 10 additional languages and can be found on the
website.
Judges will be deployed to visit the garden of each
finalist across the city during the week of July 22. Once the votes are
tallied, first-place winners will receive the coveted “Golden Trowel” award
from Mayor Wu while second and third-place winners will be awarded
certificates.
Gardeners who have won three or more times in the last ten
years will be automatically entered into the Hall of Fame. These distinguished
Hall-of-Famers are not eligible to enter as contestants but are invited to
return as judges.
First-place winners are eligible for a drawing for a
JetBlue Grand Prize consisting of roundtrip flights for two to any nonstop
destination from Boston. Terms, conditions, and blackout dates apply. In
addition, Mahoney’s Garden Centers will provide gardener’s gift bags to the top
three winners in each category, as well as gift certificates for the 2024 Hall
of Fame winners.
